...know it's not good for me, but for gossip and buzz I go to Jerusalem-based DEBKAfiles www.debka.com) As a source of news, the site is a curious thing--utterly compelling while still managing to be amateurish, disorganized and not always believable.

He'd been wounded in the air strike on Kandahar. A much larger crowd gathered. Some were curious, a few hostile. Suddenly our guard grabbed us away from the crowd of refugees.

...Harvard relies on a historical mystique rather than its diverse academic and social atmosphere to attract undergraduate applicants. Maybe this is because the Crimson Key is giving the same tour to prospective students that it would give to curious old ladies passing through Cambridge.
